Settlement Papers.
The parishes were required to look after their own poor. This could become a burden. So when someone wanted to move into a parish and they appeared to be unable to support themselves - i.e. a single woman expecting a child - the parish tried to determine if that person could claim welfare from the parish. If not they were sent back to their own parish.
There are at several forms for settlement papers. Examination papers, settlement certificates and removal papers.
- Settlement Certificates record the movement from a place, county to another place, county.
- Settlement Examination Papers detail the place a person was living, county and the place they would like to settle at.
- Removal Orders detail a place, county where a person had settled and the place, county to which they were being lawfully removed to.
